Dunno what they do in Australia but over here the bookies will pay out on the 4 leg accumulator as they would do as if the Dons game was postponed by snow or whatever.

Funny in an ironic sense, yes. But they only had to play the game and a St. Johnstone player get a sniffle... the league would’ve been in turmoil. What would the SPL’s seventeen avid fans have to look forward to each week? Selfish and stupid.

The first minister for Scotland was pretty angry about the clubs conduct and I would say they (the club) were pretty fortunate to get away with only a postponement. They do things differently in Scotland and we are all happy with that.
